GD Library

[M]

Hallo NG,
I have problem creating automatic thumbnails from image of size 2200*1700
pixel, if I scale the same image to 1000*x pixel thumbnails creation works
good.
Someone knows if it's a limit of GD library version 2.0.28 or a lack on
server setup?
Thanks.

This isn't a limitation of the GD library. You're just using up all the
memory available to PHP.

(Hint: 2000 x 1700 x 24 bits per pixel for a full-colour image = almost 80
megabytes)

Perhaps there's something in php.ini that you can adjust to give it more
memory?

Re: GD Library

Now I know that memory allocation for PHP is set to 12MB. So that is the
problem.

I've had the same problem. I used to use a gallery that used netpbm
instead of GD and I seem to recall that it handled fines with no problem.
